No need to run the OFED release, just take openibd script from 
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/branches/1.0/ofed/openib/scripts/ and use 
it: openibd start and openibd stop.

In order for it to load/unload modules you need also to have the file 
openib.conf under /etc/infiniband directory with this content:

# Start HCA driver upon boot
ONBOOT=yes

# Load MTHCA
MTHCA_LOAD=yes

# Load IPoIB
IPOIB_LOAD=yes
